A late summer wedding with Kayleigh and Jamie

At the weekend we photographed the gorgeous wedding of Kayleigh and Jamie.

The service took place at the magnificent Priory Church in Bridlington. We have not worked there before and were made to feel very welcome.

The Priory provided a stunning backdrop for photography.  The weather was on our side and we had a mix of sunshine, shade and even a bit of wind to provide some wedding veil drama!

The reception was held at Tickton Grange in Beverley which must be one of the best  venues in this region.

Once in while a couple comes along who are as lovely to be with as they are to photograph. Kayleigh and Jamie were exactly this!  Delightful to photograph and thoughtful and considerate. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we had a truly wonderful time working with them.

A Wedding at the Willerby Barn

Congratulations to Caroline and Mark who were married at the Willerby Barn on Friday.

It was our first time photographing this stunning venue and what a fabulous time everyone had.

We started early with Caroline to do her bridal portraits. The room at the Barn is perfect for this kind of photography, with simple but stylish surroundings.

Afterwards we met up with Mark and Adey to complete their pre wedding photographs outside at the front of the venue.

Little flower girl Phoebe stole everyones heart practising her walk down the aisle, before the arrival of the bride with her father, Keith.

Phoebe caused much laughter when she managed to knock over her basket of confetti during the service.

After the service, guests enjoyed a celebratory drink on the terrace in the sunshine before heading inside for the wedding breakfast.

Speeches followed and before long, the evening guests arrived and it was time for the first dance.

We had a lovely day with Caroline and Mark and wish them every happiness in their future life together.

 

A Valentines Day Wedding with Sarah and Lee

On Monday we photographed the wedding of Sarah and Lee.

It was a very blustery, wet Valentines Day which meant we were unable to get outside for the photography.

However, the weather did not dampen the spirits and we had a lovely, relaxed day with Sarah and Lee.

We were lucky that Lazaats had a small covered area. This gave us the opportunity to take some of the couple portraits outside.

We have shot a lot of weddings but seldom has one been as calm and organised as this one. Sarah and Lee had left plenty of time for photography and were both on time for their portraits.

Baby Arabella was beautifully behaved and took the whole thing in her small stride.

Sarah and Lee are a really lovely couple and we wish them every happiness in their future life together.

A Winter Wedding with Rachael and Paul

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Rachael and Paul at Rise Hall.

It was a rainy blustery day which meant that we shot all of our photographs inside. Rise Hall is a good option for a winter wedding as it provides lots of space to do this.

We started the day with Rachael who was getting ready in the Swift Suite. After taking a few photographs of the bride and the dress, we headed into the hall to meet up with Paul and his groomsmen.

Rachel looked stunning in her dress from Coates Couture and we were able to take some quick portraits of her before she headed downstairs for the ceremony.

Rachael’s son escorted her into the room before handing over to her dad who walked her down the aisle.

The happy couple were piped out of the room and joined guests for a celebratory drink before the group photographs.

Speeches from the groom, best man and the couples sons entertained guests before dinner was served.

The groom and the rest of the guests were surprised by a performance from the Ultimate Singing Waiters and much fun was had by all!

The traditional cake cutting took place before the first dance. Following this the party got into full swing.

Rachael and Paul are a lovely couple and we wish them every happiness in their life together.

A Wedding at the Country Park Inn with Megan and Shaun

On Saturday we photographed the wedding of Megan and Shaun at the Country Park Inn, Hessle.

The riverside location provides a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography and we were lucky to have a sunny day.

We started our photography for the day with Megan and her bridemaids. Preparations began early for the ceremony at 11 o clock.

Shortly before we met up with Shaun and best man Josh to take some portraits before they headed inside to meet the registrars.

We then went back to see Megan and to complete her bridal portraits.

Once guests were assembled Megan was escorted down the aisle by dad Alan to meet her groom.

Following the service guests enjoyed a celebratory drink in the foyer before heading outside for the all important family group photographs. This is a special part of any wedding and captures precious memories for the couple.

The early start afforded us the luxury of time. This gave us plenty of opportunity to create some special photographs for Megan and Shaun.

The guests enjoyed afternoon tea with the happy couple before they all took a short break.

We met up afterwards with Megan and Shaun to conclude their couple portraits. Hessle Foreshore provides a stunning backdrop for photographs and we were pleased to have sufficient time to do it justice.

In the evening the couple were joined by more family and friends for the celebrations and the first dance.

Megan and Shaun are such a lovely couple and we very much enjoyed photographing their special day. We wish them every happiness in the future.
